breakfast. He always had a blazing fire

BATcHELoR SUTHERLIN says plain
lively, we find In looking over the list
Of bills passed by the recent legislature
that = law has been enacted in regard
to marriage license. which Is to us the
most n~onsensical piece Of business that
has Yet come under our notice. Just
what its provisions are we are not
aware. but the idea Of a people In II
country likeMontana having to procure
q license before committing matri-
mony Is r~ediculously absurd. and 10
directly antsgouistic TO the Iair sex in
whose interest IL Is presumed TO have
been enacted. Certainly there are ob.
stacles enough in the way Of the Mon
tana bachelor rushing into the bonds
Of servitude, without imposing OF him
the necessity. ot procuring n license.
Just think OF an old bachelor who has
after these long years of GOODNESS and
indifferen e, become so fired up with
the tender sentiment Ms To wish TO
commit the rash act, having 10
journey twenty or 100 miles to pro-
cure a license; why in half the cases
the fire Of love would burn out before
the journey would be completed and
he would be out Of the notion. Had
he half the impetuosity of his youth
he might be willing to take great
adventures, Dut with lessons of In
felicity that are on every court calen-
dar he is not likely IN make very great
exertion, however deeply enamored
he may chance TO become, In these
days of such a strong tendency toward
celibacy, we certainly doubt the wis.
dom Of any Measure that Is calculated
TO throw q straw In the road Of thos.
matrimonially inclined. Imagine The
chagrin OF the average bunch grass
maiden when she learns that after
coaxing and cajoling her lover into
proposing, that she must trot him OFF
TO the county seat and procure the per-
mission If the law u take her victim
under protecting care instead of bu =
rying direct To n magistrate or priest
or parson as has heretofore been the
case. The Legislature seems TO have
had an element in IL that has been Ell.
deavoring to imn.ortalize itself In the
eyes of the women Of Montana by en-
acting laws calculated TO raise stronger
barriers between the sexes presumably
for her protection, but whose ideas Of
~self-c0ntrol are crude, indeed, aud
whose estimate of true chastity is by
no means complimentary. W. vent.
ure, however. that in this aud ia
lengthening the road to the connubial
state, 1t only rendered itself more
odious In tie eyes Of those IL was cater
ing to please. But seriously. there has
been nothing 10 call forth such h trade,
aud the marriage license law can but
be regarded in the same light rs the
registration law. as being suitable
only 10 the wants Of large cities.
